Balor Guardian Crash?

I've been searching the forums and no one seemed to have a fix for the CTD when I killed him. Does anyone have anything new to work around this? I've got the Co8 and the latest fixpack. Thanks everyone! :mrhappy:

 

Thanks for the info, but I don't have either of those weapons and killing him isn't the issue (Thanks to the druid bringing in three earth elementals and the sorcerer hastening them haha) it crashes right as he dies lol it's so sad to finish him off and not get to enjoy it. The same thing happens with the battle of Hendak and Iuz :cry: The rest of the game works fine, it's just these two battles that seem to kill the game. Good thing they're not important or anything.... I don't know I'm going to try a couple more times before I give up though.

 

What do you have installed?
game
+ atari patch2 ???
+ Co8 5.0.0 MOD ???
+ Co8 5.0.x CMF ???

 

Yep, everything's up to date. It's strange how it's just two little things that crash it, always when the balor dies and when St. Cuthbert finishes talking. Do they share a script or something that may be corrupted or something? Whatever's causing it isn't random; it's a definite thing that always happens. Is there any kind of log or something the game generates that I can post to help you guys diagnose the problem?

 

That's what I was afraid of, I was hoping there was some strange fix like not having a certain helm equiped or something, instead of it being a constant thing. I'll just have to skip him and his and part of the golden orb. Thanks guys

 

I've never had a problem with the game crashing during or after the balor on the fire plane.

I did once have a problem where the game wouldn't let me pick up the fire gem. The circle would light up but I couldn't pick up the gem. But that only happened one time and hasn't happened again.

 

It's a very old bug, and like many of the old bugs, it crops up and then disappears seemingly at random. Black goats, as ever, are my preference for sacrifice before playing. Spike uses chickens. No-one has tried turtledoves yet, AFAIK.

 

Turtledoves, huh? I'll try it and let you know. :evil_laug

 

Can we see the chicken-on-fire pic, once again? This thread begs to see it posted.

[EDIT]
I searched for a foto that trumps it, but was not successful.

 

Ted doesn't like it, and I'm not willing to piss him off just now. How about this instead:

Okay. I promise to piss you off later.

 

hey, I just killed a certain Frank and that just got my 8-char party (10th level average) only about 125 xp per person... is that normal? :scratchhe
